Here I go again with orange trucks! I think I've decided on chevy orange #516- Does anyone have pix of a truck with this paint. Thanks!!

Sorry, no camera.
But that's the color my my '68 C/10 stepside. Original paint, 516 Orange. [Easy to remember, since my birthday's May 16th.]
They used to call this color "Omaha Orange" in the old days.

It`s still Omaha Orange.It`s a fleet color that will never end.From time to time it is put into the line.They do this with other fleet colors,too,and just come up with a name to market it under.
Here`s mine
